Firstly I'd like to say welcome, my first post, hopefully not my last.
I took time to read as much of the FAQ and stuff as possible, but being a very new HTML css guy, I find alot of it may have gone over my head!

Anyway I shall try to explain my issue.

Okay theres my first attempt at the site, Every div was given a random colour border so i could figure out what i was screwing up as I went along ^^ and the colour schemes bleak at best :)

I've you've managed to find the CSS you'll see I use alot of position:absolutes; unfortunatly the machine I use has a rather Hi-res monitor (1280 x 1024) so I'm sure the site looks awful for people with a lower res at the moment....

Is there anyway I can change some of the positioning on maybe the "Menu /navigation" div, so its always floating about 50px's from the right of the "content" div ?

I can upload more screen shots of details if needed
*I have at least mastered image shack ^^*

Thanks in advance for any advice / flames i receive, and nice meeting you all :)

Thatís a very simple 2 column layout and no direct positioning is needed at all for this. Only the rounded corners may require some more consideration.
Look at and learn from Bon Rougeís tutorials (http://bonrouge.com/2c-hf-fixed.php).

Ah thanks for the link I will look into it.

The layout listed on the link though gives me two columns in a direct line (they are basically thouching). Is there an easy way to put some distance between them ?
I was tempted to abuse the margin and padding commands but they will still have background, and im tempted to keep the rounded corners aspec :)

Thanks for all the help though, link was very handy!

Small update - I think i've cracked it!

The website link you provided gave me an idea on how to handle it, I just used a positioned Wrap and then floated the content as needed in there, as long as you state the box sizes it all seems to float reasonably well at any Res.
